ESI and E-Discovery and Presentations/Speeches

What's past is prologue. As we look ahead to the policy questions facing the Internet today and tomorrow, it's useful to recall what we've seen over the past 12 months, and that's what we'll do during this session.

The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were amended on December 1, 2006, to include new provisions on the discovery of electronically stored information (ESI). After providing a summary of these rules, this session will focus on steps that universities and colleges can take to manage ESI, including reasonable accessibility rules, privilege and waiver considerations, the duty to preserve electronic evidence, litigation holds, and the elements of an ESI retention and destruction program.
